XCOM: Enemy Unknown coming to iOS

March 25, 2013 at 9:00 am | 27 Comments

From the very first time I sat down to play Firaxis’  delightful and terribly stressful XCOM: Enemy Unknown reboot, I thought it would be the perfect fit for the iPad; because if there’s one thing better than killing aliens, it’s killing aliens while you’re on the toilet. It’s happening, so expect to experience a great deal of numb-legged pins-and-needles in the near future.

Welcome to the battlefield. Earth is at risk, as aliens sow terror across the globe. Outnumbered, outmatched and outmanoeuvred, you are in charge of the XCOM project, the only line of defence against the Extra Terrestrial threat. Can you survive the fight against the unknown?

This XCOM trailer shows a different game

October 5, 2012 at 1:30 pm | 14 Comments

The newly remade turn-based-strategy XCOM: enemy Unknown has had some pretty amazing marketing so far, including a fantastic interactive trailer, and a tongue-in-cheek attempt to sell the game to the wrong people.

Watch XCOM’s designer try sell the game

October 4, 2012 at 2:00 pm | 20 Comments

Jake Solomon is the XCOM ultra-fan who served as the lead designer for the remake of Enemy Unknown. the game’s out next week – and we’re positively brimming with excitement for the return of the turn-based strategy title that fuelled our youth. It seems console gamers in the land of Halo and Call of Duty aren’t quite so keen. Watch Jake rather hilariously try and sell his game to walk-in customers at a game store…and completely fail.

The interactive XCOM trailer is awesome

We here at Lazygamer are pretty damned enthusiastic about Firaxis’ resurrection of one of the greatest strategy games of all time, XCOM: Enemy Unknown. We’ve previewed the game at Gamescom, as well as at home - and it’s terribly addictive, with in-game choices that are impactful and have meaning.

3 New screenshots for XCom Enemy Unknown

January 12, 2012 at 8:00 am | 6 Comments

The excitement surrounding the announcement of the new XCom Enemy Unknown strategy game is starting to wear off and it’s time to take a look at what we’ll actually be getting.

2K Games has released the first 3 screenshots from the title and so far it’s looking pretty interesting but I’m not excited by the zoomed in screenshot.

An XCOM strategy game is coming

January 6, 2012 at 10:00 am | 17 Comments

At E3 in 2010 it was announced that a new XCOM was in the works and while the game looked intriguing it wasn’t a universally happy moment for XCOM fans as the new XCOM title was a FPS instead of a strategy game.

For the last 18 months we’ve been told that the game is going to be awesome and will be a true representation of the XCOM universe but the doubters haven’t gone away and they have now got their way. An XCOM strategy game is in development.
